I am running DWM under Arch Linux in combination with the urxvt terminal. I have a urxvt daemon running but when I press the key combination for opening a terminal window, nothing happens. Is there an error log file for DWM? Any suggestions what I can do to find out why no terminal is opening? Thanks! Edit: My config.c file: /* appearance */ static const char font[] = "-*-terminus-medium-r-normal-*- 12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"; static const char normbordercolor[] = "#000000"; static const char normbgcolor[] = "#3f3f3f"; static const char normfgcolor[] = "#dfaf8f"; static const char selbordercolor[] = "#cc0000"; static const char selbgcolor[] = "#2b2b2b"; static const char selfgcolor[] = "#f0dfaf"; static const unsigned int borderpx = 1; /* border pixel of windows */ static const unsigned int snap = 0; /* snap pixel */ static const Bool showbar = True; /* False means no bar */ static const Bool topbar = True; /* False means bottom bar */ /* tagging */ static const char *tags[] = { "term", "work", "www", "mail"}; static const Rule rules[] = { /* class instance title tags mask isfloating monitor */ { "Gimp", NULL, NULL, 0, True, -1 }, { "Firefox", NULL, NULL, 1 ", NULL }, /* no layout function means floating behavior */ { "[M]", monocle }, }; /* key definitions */ #define MODKEY Mod4Mask #define TAGKEYS(KEY,TAG) \ { MODKEY, KEY, view, {.ui = 1 << TAG} }, \ { MODKEY|ControlMask, KEY, toggleview, {.ui = 1 << TAG} }, \ { MODKEY|ShiftMask, KEY, tag, {.ui = 1 << TAG} }, \ { MODKEY|ControlMask|ShiftMask, KEY, toggletag, {.ui = 1 << TAG} }, /* helper for spawning shell commands in the pre dwm-5.0 fashion */ #define SHCMD(cmd) { .v = (const char*[]){ "/bin/sh", "-c", cmd, NULL } } /* commands */ static const char *dmenucmd[] = { "dmenu_run", "-fn", font, "-nb", normbgcolor, "-nf", normfgcolor, "-sb", selbgcolor, "-sf", selfgcolor, NULL }; static const char *termcmd[] = { "urxvtc", NULL }; static Key keys[] = { /* modifier key function argument */ { MODKEY, XK_p, spawn, {.v = dmenucmd } }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_Return, spawn, {.v = termcmd } }, { MODKEY, XK_b, togglebar, {0} }, { MODKEY, XK_j, focusstack, {.i = +1 } }, { MODKEY, XK_k, focusstack, {.i = -1 } }, { MODKEY, XK_i, incnmaster, {.i = +1 } }, { MODKEY, XK_d, incnmaster, {.i = -1 } }, { MODKEY, XK_h, setmfact, {.f = -0.05} }, { MODKEY, XK_l, setmfact, {.f = +0.05} }, { MODKEY, XK_Return, zoom, {0} }, { MODKEY, XK_Tab, view, {0} }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_c, killclient, {0} }, { MODKEY, XK_t, setlayout, {.v = &layouts} }, { MODKEY, XK_f, setlayout, {.v = &layouts} }, { MODKEY, XK_m, setlayout, {.v = &layouts} }, { MODKEY, XK_space, setlayout, {0} }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_space, togglefloating, {0} }, { MODKEY, XK_0, view, {.ui = ~0 } }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_0, tag, {.ui = ~0 } }, { MODKEY, XK_comma, focusmon, {.i = -1 } }, { MODKEY, XK_period, focusmon, {.i = +1 } }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_comma, tagmon, {.i = -1 } }, { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_period, tagmon, {.i = +1 } }, TAGKEYS( XK_1, 0) TAGKEYS( XK_2, 1) TAGKEYS( XK_3, 2) TAGKEYS( XK_4, 3) TAGKEYS( XK_5, 4) TAGKEYS( XK_6, 5) TAGKEYS( XK_7, 6) TAGKEYS( XK_8, 7) TAGKEYS( XK_9, 8) { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_q, quit, {0} }, }; /* button definitions */ /* click can be ClkLtSymbol, ClkStatusText, ClkWinTitle, ClkClientWin, or ClkRootWin */ static Button buttons[] = { /* click event mask button function argument */ { ClkLtSymbol, 0, Button1, setlayout, {0} }, { ClkLtSymbol, 0, Button3, setlayout, {.v = &layouts} }, { ClkWinTitle, 0, Button2, zoom, {0} }, { ClkStatusText, 0, Button2, spawn, {.v = termcmd } }, { ClkClientWin, MODKEY, Button1, movemouse, {0} }, { ClkClientWin, MODKEY, Button2, togglefloating, {0} }, { ClkClientWin, MODKEY, Button3, resizemouse, {0} }, { ClkTagBar, 0, Button1, view, {0} }, { ClkTagBar, 0, Button3, toggleview, {0} }, { ClkTagBar, MODKEY, Button1, tag, {0} }, { ClkTagBar, MODKEY, Button3, toggletag, {0} }, };
